Editorial note: this is a general guide to how Buffalo King Megaways works.

Slots are games of chance — nothing here is a prediction of results, and no strategy changes the odds.
Buffalo King Megaways slot review
Buffalo King Megaways is Pragmatic Play’s 2021 stampede across the American plains — a six-reel Megaways beast dealing up to 200,704 ways to win, where the buffalo herds arrive stacked and the free-spins round multiplies everything through 2x, 3x and 5x wilds that can stack into triple figures. The buffalo theme is one of slots’ oldest traditions, borrowed from American land-based casinos, and this Megaways treatment is widely regarded as Pragmatic’s definitive version of it — bigger, faster and considerably more volatile than the 2019 original it upgrades.
How Buffalo King Megaways plays
Reel heights change every spin, pushing the ways count towards its 200,704 ceiling — among the largest in the format. Eagles, pumas, moose and the stacked buffalo lead the paytable, with matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left paying in any position. The gold-coin scatter is the route to the bonus.
Free spins and wild multipliers
Scatters award free spins on a sliding scale, and the round is where the maths lives. Wild symbols land carrying 2x, 3x or 5x multipliers, and crucially they multiply together when several feature in one way-win — two 5x wilds make a 25x hit. Extra scatters retrigger relentlessly, with the total round able to stretch towards one hundred free spins on a charmed run.
RTP, volatility and max win
The commonly published RTP is around 96.06%, with operator versions varying — the in-game information panel shows yours. Volatility is high: the base game can run cold while the design saves its force for multiplier-stacked free spins, with an advertised maximum win of 5,000 times your stake.
